[0044] Embodiment 4:

[0045] See also Figure 1-8 , and combined with the first to third embodiments, a method for grabbing and stacking applied to a photovoltaic module production line is further obtained, comprising the following steps:

[0046] S1. Production line preparation

[0047] First of all, before processing, detailed planning and preparation must be carried out, including determining the production volume of the production line and the demand for the product model, conducting safety checks on the electrical components used to ensure that there are no abnormalities in the production line, and then adjusting the device according to the weight and model of the photovoltaic modules that need to be grabbed;

[0048] S2. Operation Specifications

[0049] During the grabbing process, the staff should ensure that the photovoltaic modules are firmly adsorbed to the suction cups and try to keep the lifting vertical to avoid grabbing when the center of gravity shifts greatly. During the placement process after the grabbing is completed, it should be lowered slowly to ensure that the photovoltaic modules are completely placed on the placement board, then the suction cups should be released and lifted up again to avoid damage to the photovoltaic modules. At the same time, the staff should handle the photovoltaic modules in a timely manner after grabbing and placing.

[0050] During the actual operation, when this device is used, it is first adjusted according to the model of the photovoltaic component. The staff rotates the two-way threaded rod 424, and through the rotation of the set two-way threaded rod 424, cooperates with the limit rod 425 to move the movable plate 426, thereby moving the mounting plate 423, and the photovoltaic component is transmitted by the set conveyor 3. The position of the connecting tube 51 is adjusted by the set cylinder 421 until the suction cup 52 and the photovoltaic component are fitted together. The electromagnet 53 is set to work, cooperates with the first spring 54, and the adsorption block 56 moves, so that the slider 55 slides inside the connecting tube 51, so that the suction cup 52 contracts and releases. After the grabbing is completed, the air cylinder 421 is set to work. The cylinder 421 works to raise the captured photovoltaic component to the highest position, and the first motor 413 is set to work to rotate the limit block 414, and cooperate with the limit plate 416 to rotate the rotating shaft 415, so that the connecting frame 417 rotates, so that multiple groups of connecting tables 422 are evenly switched to complete the batch grabbing operation. After the picking is completed, the captured photovoltaic component is placed on the top of the placement plate 63, and the placement plate 63 moves under the action of the gravity of the photovoltaic component. The placement plate 63 moves through the movement of the placement plate 63, so that the connecting block 62 slides inside the connection box 61, and cooperates with the connecting rod 67 to make the slide plate 66 slide outside the slide rod 64, and cooperates with the second spring 65 and the damping rod 68 to complete the shock reduction of the placement plate 63.

[0051] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the statement "comprise a ..." do not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the elements.
